Slow Retract Mechanism
Our manual pull down projection screens are simply the best in the industry. A unique gear system prevents the screen bar from hitting the case by slowing the screen and gently retracting it into position. The system also allows the user to pull the screen down, briefly pause and the screen will lock into the desired position.

Case Design
The aluminium diamond white case has an elegant curved profile making it one of the nicest looking screens on the market. The rigid sturdy design keeps the internal roller perfectly straight and material well protected.

Mounting Bracket
The Grandview Cyber projection screens feature one of the best mounting systems on the market. Two small brackets fit to the wall or ceiling anywhere along the length of the case. Once the screen is clipped into the brackets a retaining bolt secures it in position. The screen can only be lifted off the brackets when the bolt is released.

Superior Projection Screen Material
The quality of material is the most important aspect of any projection screen. Most screens on the market will use a very basic compressed cloth type material resulting in a creased surface and poor contrast performance.

All pull down projector screens come with a large black top border, which can be adjusted

The quality of material is the most important aspect of any projection screen. Most screens on the market will use a very basic compressed cloth type material resulting in a creased surface and poor contrast performance.

The Grandview Cyber Series projection screens use a US manufactured high quality multi ply material with a high contrast and low gain of 1.1. The Projection screen material is tear resistant, fireproof, wrinkle proof and is designed to hang perfectly flat. The centre layer is a glass fibre net producing a flex rate of less than 1% compared with the industry average of 33%. The front layer optimises contrast and reflectivity while a black PVC backing prevents light leakage and helps retain a uniformly flat projection surface.

How to Choose a Projector & Screen Size

The first thing you need to decide is how big you want the screen to be? Depending on how much space you have typical sizes are between 96 – 120 inches (measured diagonally). Domestic TV screens may be getting bigger all the time but once you go above 90" TVs they become more expensive and harder to hide. It’s tempting to go large, but its important to see the bottom edge of the screen from every seating position. Don't forget that if its too large you'll have to move your eyes to see the whole of the screen creating a feeling much like sitting in the first row of seats in a cinema, and potentially motion sickness! Choosing the right-sized screen It’s important to make sure your projector will fill the screen from its intended position. You can use the unit’s throw ratio information to discern this. Divide the distance between the projector and screen by the throw ratio and you’ll get the image width. It’s important to note that it’s image width not the diagonal. Image width x Throw ratio = Distance from screen If you have a screen that is 2.6m wide and a projector with a throw ratio of 1.3 you'll need to put the projector 3.38m away from the screen. As well as the size of screen, consider the type. Do you want a fixed model that sits on your wall or a roll-up option that can be hidden away after use? The answer depends on whether the room is a multi-use space. If so, hiding the screen away makes a lot of sense. In a dedicated home cinema room the fixed option is the way to go, because the screen is always ready for viewing and adequately tensioned to ensure a smooth, flat surface for the projector’s image. It also doesn’t need power to operate any motors. While the fashion with TVs dictates that a minimal border is ideal, we advise against carrying that through to projector screens. It’s best to get a fixed screen with a relatively wide frame. The frame should be covered with black light absorbing material, so that any part of the projector image that falls on it isn’t reflected. This means that millimetre perfect alignment of the projector’s image isn’t required and also that your picture is perfectly framed, helping it standout.
